[QUOTE]Originally posted by Kazeite: [QB] I was asked this question many times before... It was like that: I watched first season just because. It was Star Trek, after all. Even though I had bad feeling about it (after seeing Enterprise design, for example... You know, the usual and number one complain of typical[i]Enterprise[/i] basher :) ) I was willing to give this show a fair chance. And, as you can suspect, I was very dissapointed. Enter season two. This one I watched precisely because I disliked [i]Enterprise[/i] - I watched it so I could bash it on our own Polish IRC channel and complain how bad it is. But then... something changed. I changed. I suddenly understood that I may not always be right - that my beliefs are not the only ones that may be true - ergo, conclusively, if there are people that like [i]Enterprise[/i] and dislike [i]Voyager[/i], its their damn right. That is who we are. Like [b]Alshrim Dax[/b] said, Trek has something for everyone. Everything has something for everyone. This leaves us with season three. I thought, maybe my approach was incorrect. Many times I searched for spoilers and reviews before I would be able to watch actual episode - so, naturally, I couldn't be suprised by the plot twists, for instance. I developed this custom when watching [i]Voyager[/i] - and it was I genuinely liked to compare my beliefs about episode with actual episode. So, I decided to give [i]Enterprise[/i] another choice. If I could change my approach to people with different tastes in sci-fi series, then maybe I could learn to like [i]Enterprise[/i]? So, no more spoilers, no more premature reviews reading... And, well... it didn't help much... at first. Like I said, maybe previous two seasons left too much hatred in me. But after few, well, I wouldn's say "good"... let's say mediocre s3 episodes I started to have hope. Maybe this show won't suck so much (in my head). Meybe it will get better. After all, it can't get any worse, can it? :) And I understand one important thing - producers of [i]Enterprise[/i] may, or may not be morons, may have lost the sight of what Trek is about, they may have no clue what is wrong with the [i]Enterprise[/i], but I can't say they aren't trying... So, in short sentence: Why I dislike [i]Enterprise[/i]? Because I think it doesn't realistically portray 2150 Trek universe. And why I continue to watch it? Because I'm an optimist. Like I said, it can only get better. We had two bad seasons, let's see the good ones. Because it makes me laugh now. Honestly. It used to make me angry, but now I think it's not Berman and Bragas fault they make [i]Enterprise[/i] in this fashion. Because right now actor got hang of characters they play. When previously Bakulas expression were limited to furrowing his brow, now he's starting to behave human. I like badass Archer better, even if I think that he makes lot's of silly things. :) And even if episodes tech is one big distaster, then at least actors performance can help to salvage it. And, last but not least... my father watches it. :) I am a really, really lucky guy to have some like him as my father. We get along very nice... He understand me, I understand him. Generations problems my ass :) We often watch some movies together, and the least I can do is to watch some [i]Enterprise[/i] with him, right? (Especially that I don't share his passion for soccer :) ) I don't know if I would care to continue to watch [i]Enterprise[/i] if I didn't had a partner in my father. (there are some s1 episodes that I didn't watch and certainly don't intend to watch). And... that's why I still continue to watch [i]Enterprise[/i]. Those reasons may perhaps sound silly to you. That's ok. They work for me. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
